Notes:

UNEXPECTEDLY CALLED AWAY - The many friends of Mr. William Hancock received a sad shock in the news of his death, which took place early in the morning of Tuesday last. Although ailing for some three weeks it was fully believed that the crisis had been passed and that he was on the road to recovery. But it was not so ordained. In the full bloom of his early manhood he has been cut off and his cheery smile and pleasant greeting will be no more seen and heard on our streets. Mr. Hancock came when quite a lad, in 1875 with the family from Beverly to Galt, since which time he has been well known to the younger generation of Galtonians, with whom he had attended school and grown up to fill what it was hoped would be a long, and what gave every promise of being a useful, career. After working in several subordinate positions he commenced business for himself, two years ago, in company with Patrick Radigan, Jr., and by his sterling integrity and assiduity was laying the basis of a successful business career. In 1883 he was married to Maggie, daughter of Mr. Thos. Uren, by whom he has three children, ranging from five years to nine months.

Mr. Hancock was a member of the Freemasons, A.O.F., and of the Royal Areanum, the latter being a co-operative benefit society in which he is insured for $3,000. The two latter societies attended in a body at the funeral, which took place on Thursday from his residence on Beverly Street to Mount View Cemetery.

Notes:

Death of Mr. Thomas Uren - the death of this old resident of Galt, which we were pained to shortly announced last week, as having suddenly occurred while working at the residence of Matthew Wilds, Esq., was absolutely momentary. Mr. Uren was working in the coach-house, in company with the coachman, and suddenly asked the latter "to open the door as he felt faint." The coachman started to do so when he saw Mr. Uren stagger and went to his assistance, but after laying him down, the deceased scarcely gave more than a gasp or two before his spirit took its flight. The cause of his death was heart disease.

Mr. Uren was a very old and highly respected resident of Galt, and had many friends. But the day before his death in conversation with a friend on Main street, he said that he had just walked down from Mr. Wilks' and he then appeared cheerful and comparatively well, but he also said that he disliked staying away from home at night, as he did not sleep well and had trouble with his heart. In twenty-four hours from that time his spirit had passed away. The deceased leaves a widow and four daughters, viz.: - Mrs. George Simons, of Toronto, and Mrs. George Hancock, Mrs. Easton and Miss Uren, of Galt. It will be remembered that his son Edward was one of the victims of the steamer accident at the dam in 1878.

Clemens, Samuel

The angel of death has once more visited this vicinity, this time taking as its victim one of our most respected and oldest settlers, in the person of Mr. Samuel Clemens, whose demise took place last evening, at 5.30 o'clock, at his home on the Puslinch Lake Road. Mr. Clemens had been suffering for the past seven months from enlargement, of the liver and heart failure, which at length resulted in his death. Up to the last Mr. Clemens was conscious and died happy, trusting in his Heavenly Father. The late Mr. Clemens was born in Hespeler in 1819 and has resided here all his life. He was one of those old pioneers, whose labors show the results of a useful life, he making many a clearance on his farm. He moved to the old homestead, 49 years ago, where he resided until his death. The 13th of May, the day of his death, was his birthday. In 1854, he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Gingerich, who survives him. Eight children blessed this union, seven of whom are living, Mrs. MeKercie, Detroit; Mrs. Mulholland, Beverly; Enic, Calgary; David, Hamilton; Joseph, Marina Ranch, Alberta; Samuel, at home; and Mrs. Neustadt, Hespeler. Deceased was brought up in the Mennonite doctrines, to which faith he remained true till the last. The funeral took place Friday afternoon, to the Union Cemetery.

CLEMENS, SAMUEL

After weeks of patient waiting and suffering of much intensity, quietly on Wednesday, May 13, 1896. He was a man of industry and energy but when disease began its insidious work, he laid down toil. He has been a resigned invalid for weeks, calmly awaiting the transition. He was a framer by trade and also worked a farm. Through his whole life his motto was "excelsior", quietly completing every undertaking and improving every plan. His examples shall be a lesson to all who knew him. His principles were lived up to. No one could say aught against him. He was a man of honesty and integrity. He died aged 77 years. His wife and family receive the tender sympathy of many. He was born in Waterloo in the year 1819 and has always resided in the vicinity (Puslinch Lake).

-Information from the transcription of the Brethren in Christ Cemetery: His wife was Elizabeth Gingrich (Feb. 16, 1824-Feb. 25, 1900).
